Last month officers were contacted by the Freedom Charity after it received a call from a woman saying she had been held against her will for decades.

A Malaysian woman, 69, an Irish woman, 57, and a British woman, 30, were all rescued from the house, police said.

The women, who are said to be “highly traumatised”, are now in safe accommodation.

Det Insp Kevin Hyland, from the Metropolitan Police’s Human Trafficking Unit, said: “We applaud the actions of Freedom Charity and are working in partnership to support these victims who appear to have been held for over 30 years.

This is the second time this year that three women have been rescued after being held captive for years.

As previously reported by Hello Beautiful, Amanda Berry, 27, Gina Dejesus, 23, and Michelle Knight, 32 were rescued from the Cleveland, Ohio home of former bus driver Ariel Castro, 53, who was sentenced to life in prison plus 1,000 years after being convicted on kidnapping and rape charges.

Castro had abducted the women and held them captive for almost a decade. While in bondage, Berry gave birth to his daughter who was 6-years-old at the time of the rescue.

Castro hung himself in his jail cell on Sept. 3, less than one month into his sentence.
